Hey, we’re baaaaaaAAAAck!! Three of us are anyways. It’s a very special edition of The Fatal 4-Way. We’ve all been crazy busy since our “retirement” from the blog world, but we all have said that we can come back for very special editions. So never count us out. We’re back in after the count of 8 (months, that is). So The Game, Greg and I are here for a rare blog. We just got the urge and decided to write. Because it was such a last minute decision, Sarge is unable to join us this time. Maybe next time we’ll have this better planned out. When the urge strikes, the urge strikes, right?

Roll the footage monkies………..

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Triple Threat! Aka The Fatal 4-Way – 1 lol You thought you got rid of us but no just when you thought wrestling couldn’t get anymore crazy the Fatal 4-Way decides to do a family reunion! Woot! Okay in all seriousness I’m happy to be back to do this one time reunion for you all! Thanks to Diva for suggesting to do this today! So lets skip about what’s going in my life right now(it’s cool, still have that great job and I’m happy!) and get into the real thing you want to know…wrestling!

Where should I begin…how about WrestleMania 33. Yes folks it happened. The Undertaker lost to Roman Reigns and has retired. He went out old school style and did the right thing(?) and he put over Roman Reigns. I know a lot of you are pretty upset that this happened. I know I was too(I pretty much turned off the TV when Reigns won but I was sooo tired and had to be up at 6:00am the next day) the PPV was way too long for me. I watched it from 7pm till just after Midnight! Man that was a long night! But back to Roman winning the match. You guys have to remember The Undertaker is old school so he was doing what he thought was the right thing and putting over the next big thing. Unfortunately not a lot of people really like him and yeah I don’t think they will ever like him now because of what happened. Back to The Undertaker he will be one of the greatest Attractions that WWE has ever had. There will be no other guy like The Undertaker. He is in his own category and that should be fine! I wish him the best and I’m going to miss him in the ring but it is his time now to enjoy the roses and be with his family. I hope they put him in WWE HOF next year because he deserves it so much!

Another big things happened at WM 33 and that was the return of The Hardy Boyz to WWE. I knew it was going to happen except I didn’t know when it was going to happen! If you have been following the TNA-Hardy Boyz fallout then you knew it was just a matter of time before they were going to show up in WWE. AS you know Matt Hardy has created this great Broken Matt gimmick back in TNA last year. It went over so well that it was probably the only thing good on TNA at the time. Then he got his Brother Nero to join in and it become one of the most talk about storylines in suck a long time! It was wild, crazy and pretty damn funny at times! I watched it and fell in love with it! I showed it to my friend Matt and he just couldn’t believe how campy it was and how great it was too! We both enjoyed it a lot. Then TNA lost Dixie Carter and TNA was sold to a new company. Now they are called Impact Wrestling. But then they did the unbelievable thing…they let The Hardy’s go. What a stupid move on their part. So The Hardy Boyz showed up in Ring of Honor as Broken Matt and Brother Nero. It was over and Impact Wrestling sent them a warning saying they couldn’t use the Broken Matt and Brother Nero gimmick because it didn’t belong to them. So now The Hardy Boyz had to drop that gimmick for now until they have the rights for it. Anyway they showed up in WWE at WM 33 as the other tag team for the Ladder Match. They ended up winning the RAW tag team championship. It was a cool surprise to see them back on WWE TV. It was such a great moment.

Another match that happened at WM 33 was Triple H vs Seth Rollins. That match was all right. I got kinda bored(by this time it was almost 10:30pm and I wasn’t really feeling that well that night to begin with). I thought the match went on and on. The cool spot of the night was when Stephanie went through the table after Triple H ran into her. That was pretty cool. Then Seth got the win after that. I like Rollins. I think he is a great worker and the better guy from The Shield. I have always been a Rollins fan. So I’m curious as to what they are going to do with him now. I’m hoping he will get a title run again. He deserves it for sure!

One match that I thought was horrible was The Miz & Mayrse vs John Cena & Nikki Bella. My goodness that was 25 mins of crap that I won’t get back. Cena and Bella won. Then Cena propose to Bella. They will probably have a SummerSlam wedding. Yay just what we really need again…another wrestling wedding. Blah blah blah.

I’m so happy that Bayley is still your Women’s Champion! She beat Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax in a fatal 4-way match! It was a great match and it should have been a little bit longer. They all worked really hard and it was probably one of my favourite match from the night!

Then we had Brock Lesnar take on Goldberg aka Grandpa for the Universal Championship. Don’t get me started with why this match was for the championship. It shouldn’t have been. Anyway Lesnar finally beat him and become the Universal Champion. Now Finn Balor needs to get his championship back from Lesnar! I hope that happens real soon!

Kurt Angle, DDP, Ravings Rick Rude and others were inducted into this years WWE HOF. All of them were well deserved. Kurt Angle was also hired as the new WWE GM for RAW. That should be pretty fun! I wonder what Angle is going to do to tick off Stephanie?! Lol It should be exciting times!

RAW & Smackdown are having Roster trade this week. It should shake things up for them. I hope they don’t load up RAW because Smackdown is the better Brand right now and they seem to do things more interesting than what happens on RAW.

Okay I’m finished for now. I hope you guys enjoyed my blog. I had a great time doing it. Who knows never say never in wrestling there might come a time when you least expect it and bam! Just like that out comes another edition of the Fatal 4-Way! Have a nice day!

The mood struck me randomly Monday night to write a blog about wrestling. I’ve had so many thoughts and ideas rolling around my head lately that I decided, why not? Well I couldn’t do it without at least inviting my partners along for a road trip. So three of us have come together to bring you this special edition. I have a lot to say about what’s gone done (not who) in the world of pro-wrestling. So, I’ll shut it, and get to bidness (man, I miss saying that).

I pre-wrote out everything that I thought I wanted to say, but fuck it. I’m going to go by the seat of my pants. I will not comment on The Undertaker, because I do plan on writing a separate blog on just him and his amazing career in the future. I just want it to be perfect. I went ahead and I made bullet points to work off of. I alway pre-write my blogs by hand and then put them to the computer and go from there. So tonight, I’m going at this a completely different way.

Lately, I’ve become obsessed with podcasts. It gets me through the last leg of my night shift when I need to put my laptop away. It all started with Lilian Garcia’s new podcasts which can be seen on the Youtube, “Making Their Way To The Ring”. The first one I watched was the two-part Trish Stratus (surprise-surprise, right?), and then Mick Foley’s. I highly reccommend those pods, but must check out is AJ Styles, Mickie James, Amy “Lita” Dumas, and Sasha Banks. I got into Talk is Jericho with Chris Jericho as well. The editions with Big Cass, Becky Lynch, and Edge and Christian were great. On the heels of that, Edge and Christian have a new podcast, and they’re just three episodes (soon to be four), into it. Eand C’s Pod of Awesomeness. Their hilarious, and fun. I enjoyed their first podcast with Goldberg, but it was their second and third one with Shane McMahon and Edge’s wife, Beth Phoenix had me in stitches. So totally worth checking those out. So yes, I’m obsessed with these podcasts. So check them out!!! Do it now, or you’ll make my list!

I was probably one of the few people blindsided by the Hardy’s return at WrestleMania. I’ll admit it, I didn’t put the pieces together even though I had the pieces. I knew they were in Orlando for Ring Of Honour and WrestleCon, and I knew they dropped the ROH tag titles to the Young Bucks, I knew they only had a month long contract with ROH. When the New Day came out to say that the triple threat ladder match, has been made into a fatal fourway match. There I am thinking, “fuck! The New Day are weeding their way into the match,” and then….I lost my shit! Part of my emotion was that I didn’t see it coming despite seeing all the writing on the wall. So yeah, I lost my shit. I think it’s great to have them back in the WWE, and I can’t wait to see whether or not they can bring in the Broken Matt Hardy gimmick. That’s a whole story of the executives at TNA Impact wrestling holding the gimmick hostage. They see it as money, and they’re not happy that the Hardy’s didn’t resign and that would mean loss of money. So now they are holding the Hardy’s up for royalties made in other companies and shows. Matt Hardy’s wife, Reby, had the forethought to go and get their gimmick and the theme music trademarked, and now they’re all in a court battle. I’m guessing it’s only time when the WWE will step in to get that control away from the fledging company. They’ve never stopped AJ Styles from leaving with his Phenomanal gimmick. There are a few instances where other superstars left TNA and went to other companies, and took their gimmicks with them without issues. So I’m hoping everything will get straightened out. It’s too great of a gimmick to just let it go.

At the WWE Hall of Fame I think everyone expected Kurt Angle’s speech to be the speech of the night, but that goes to Beth Phoenix. Her speech was so amazing, and so heartfelt, and honest. The revelation about Molly Holly paying for her wrestling school tuition, was so emotional because it showed that there are great people out there who want to help others follow their dreams. It made me think that Molly Holly could be on her way to the Hall of Fame next year, and she should be. I think that her career and her heart and her kindness shouldn’t be overlooked. Beth’s speech was fun and emotional and I just thought that she nailed it. I only ever watch a few speeches at the HOF, but I think I watched quite a few this year. I watched Diamond Dallas Paige’s, “Ravishing” Rick Rude’s family’s speech, Beth’s, and Kurt’s. All of their speeches were amazing. Congratualations to the 2017 Hall of Fame class.

We’ve seen the reassurgence of Jinder Mahal after two years away from the WWE. To be honest, I didn’t even notice he was gone. I did notice that when he returned that he was significantly larger. I’m not an idiot, I’m not blind. He was larger, vein-ier, all that back acne, hmmmm….STEROIDS!!!!!

The dude is jacked!! Mahal apparently addressed the steroid rumours, and claims that he has never done steroids and has never failed any drug tests. Haven’t we heard that before, from other superstars? Hulk Hogan comes to mind, and he even had to take the stand in a federal trial back in the early 90’s against the WWF and Vince McMahon, where he admitted to taking steroids. So Mahal’s claim is futile. I don’t believe him, and I’m guessing not many other people do as well. Maybe the WWE hasn’t tested him exactly for the steroid cocktail. They clearly leave certain superstars alone from testing. John Cena, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, Mahal, all clearly have never been tested and if they have, they’ve been overlooked. Not sure why Mahal hasn’t been tested properly, as he’s far from being on par with the aforementioned names in just that short list. I don’t care what Jinder Mahal claims, the guy is fucking juicing.

What can I say about the recent storyline between Maryse, The Miz, Cena and Nikki Bella? Well, I can say that The Miz and Maryse have kicked serious ass and making it actually enjoyable. The two of them have made Cena fun again. Their portrayl and mocking of the plastic relationship couple has been, in my opinion, accurate portrayal of how robotic and boring Cena truly is as a person. I know what y’all are thinking, Total Diva’s/Bella’s is scripted, and although yes it is, I doubt that the WWE would allow their top guy to actually be like this and showing what he’s really like in his everyday life. Cena comes off as a pompous, control freak, and uncaring asshole. The portrayal of Cena and Bella sparked the predictable path that would lead to their WrestleMania 33 mixed-tag team match. Maryse and The Miz would portray that dry and boring couple that is Cena and Nikki, while adding their comedic side to the two and sometimes four roles, as even Brie and Daniel Bryan were portrayed at one point. I have no problem with Brie and Daniel Bryan, but I have zero respect for Nikki Bella who would give up her dreams for a man who isn’t willing to give those dreams to a woman he proclaims to love.

What bothered me about the match was, The Miz and Maryse needed the win more than Cena and Bella did. If it was just a catalyst to lead to Cena’s proposing to Nikki, then it still wasn’t necessary to have them go over. Macho Man and Elizabeth reunited at WrestleMania 7 in 1991, despite Macho Man’s loss to the Ultimate Warrior, and it did not take away from the emotional reunion. So even if Cena and Nikki were to have lost, they could have still had their moment, which if you asked me was as phony as they are as people. Within a few days after Cena “proposing” to Nikki, the twin was on mulitple morning shows talking about all the wedding planning they have already taken steps towards. If they just got engaged on Sunday, and then a day or two later, were already talking about their cake tasting, then clearly they were engaged already. I’m not doubting their engagement, I am doubting whether or not it is genuine or a business arrangement. Afterall money does talk to Nikki Bella. So moving on, because frankly Cena and Nikki make me want to fucking throw-up.

So lets talk about the draft and the shake up that has taken place. Last year we saw some strong moves in the draft which separated the two shows, RAW and SmackDown. The draft that took place last year wasn’t the first time the WWE has done a draft and separated the two shows and wrestlers, however, I don’t think it was really done right. One show was always more stacked then the other, which made the second show the weaker show. This time, they seemed to have made moves that were more evened out and allowed superstars to have more opportunities than what they wouldn’t have necessairly have if there was no draft. Makes me wonder where would Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes be if they had just stayed on for an additional year. In the last year, we saw Naomi capture her first Women’s Championship which was long overdue, and the same with Bray Wyatt. He was crowned WWE World Champion and was part of main eventing WrestleMania 33. But alas, that was last year, and we are here in the now. So the “Shake-Up” took place over the past two days on both RAW and SmackDown, and we saw some decent moves with the following;

To SmackDown from RAW: Kevin Owens, Charlotte, Sami Zayn and New Day. Also to SmackDown from RAW less significant moves of; Rusev, Lana, Epico, Primo, Sin Cara and the return of Tamina Snuka who was not drafted last year as she was out due to injury. Announcer Byron Saxton.

Why do I feel that some moves are insignifant? Well lets face it, -Curt Hawkins even coming back was a condundrum in my opinion. He never did anything worthy talking about during his first run and he isn’t doing anything worth talking about now. A complete waste. -Goldust & R-Truth haven’t been relavent in quite sometime. -Heath Slater & Rhyno has fleeting moments of moderate success with short-term gimmicks. Sadly has dragged Rhyno down with him. -Kalisto would have had a decent run if they hadn’t moved Sin Cara over to SmackDown. This does allow him to join the 205 crew, but other than that, Kalisto will no longer be fed to Baron Corbin but insteasd will be a snack for Braun Strowman instead. MMM tastes like a burrito. -David Otunga moving is horrible. If they were going to move him at all, it should have been out the door. He’s not a good commentator, or wrestler. I don’t see him doing well on the RAW commentating team, if anything, his presence with that team is likely going to make Corey Graves stock plummit. Graves has done an amazing job commentating and I can see his career being long term as he always improves.

To SmackDown from RAW acquistions seem a little stronger than some of the crap that moved to RAW. -Rusev and Lana look to be split up, albeit on the same roster. A vignette aired showing Lana separetly from her real-life husband Rusev. Although might be good for her to start getting in-ring work and experience, it’s going to drag Rusev’s stock way down as he is basically nothing without her. He hasn’t had anything really significant in the last few months and nobody seems to care about him as much. -The Shining Stars Epico & Primo. The end. No one cares. -Sin Cara being moved away from the cruiserweight division and the potential reuniting with former tag partner, Kalisto, is a waste of a move. He is much more valuable with Kalisto and/or with the 205 crew. Now he’ll replace Kalisto as Baron Corbin’s meal. -Byron Saxton, I find is also a waste as he had better chemistry with Michael Cole and Graves over on RAW. I wonder how long he’ll last under JBL’s eye and mouth. Seeing as the strength of the team, Mauro, has left the WWE because of JBL’s constant bullying. Whose to say that the same won’t happen to Saxton? He’s not a bad commentator, and is stronger in the booth that Tom Phillips who seems to have taken Mauro’s place.

As for all the big moves that have taken place, it’ll make for interesting television and matches. Lets keep an eye on these moves and maybe next year come back and see how well this round of drafts or shake-ups did.

I don’t really want to drag on and on. I feel I already have. But I’ll take a brief time to catch up with what’s going on in my life. Back in October, I took my daughter, River who was 20 months old at the time to Hamilton Comicon where she and I had our picture taken with WWE Hall of Famer, Mick Foley. She’s met her first wrestler. Lol!! The fight to end whale and dolphin in captivity continues. It’s an uphill battles with a few wins for these amazing animals. Just two weeks ago, my paternal grandmother passed away after a long drawn out struggle with multiple strokes and other issues. After watching her struggle and suffer with breathing and not truly living for a few days, when she finally passed it became a relief. I will miss her. I’ve lost two grandparents in a span of 11 months. It’s been a rough year. My daughter turned 2 years old in February, and is funny, smart, stubborn, active, and beautiful. She loves her superheroes, and her Octonauts, and her Wiggles. We took her to see The Wiggles at Hamilton Place in October and she was so shocked and in constant awe at seeing them in real life. Also, Lachy, the purple wiggle waved to her. Totally made her day. Lol!! She’s growing so fast. I sometimes wish I could stop time and just stare at her and keep her as she is now.

That’s it for me. Until next time…Whenever that will be. Keep your skirts classy and your pants above your ass. Because in life, there are winners and there are losers…Be sexy!

You can reach me on twitter and Instagram both are @OrcaDiva80

That’s it for this time. Not sure when we’ll return, but you never know when we might pop up next. Cheers peeps, and take it e to the zeeeeee.

Welcome back to the Fatal 4-Way. Hey where are all you peeps who used to write for us occassionally? Don’t have anything to say about the wrestling product right now? That’s too bad because we could use someone to do a run-in for us.

As usual this year, we are starting off with an In Memory of. Not sure who Chris Warren is, well here’s a hint…. https://youtu.be/Et3BR1q8KlY

Chris Warren was the vocals of the D-Generation X theme song. He passed away this past Sunday at the age of 49. There is no word on what he died of. Thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.

What a busy month May has been. So much so, we forgot to put our Extreme Rules predictions. I wouldn’t worry too much since we probably didn’t do all that great on them, lol. I know I didn’t. I think I maybe got three matches right. Forever the hopeful, I suppose. Anyhow, I’ll shut it and get to bidness…

Money In The Bank has always been one of my favourite matches, so I do look forward to this event of the same name. I wish there was at least a second Money In The Bank match on the card. I would love to see the Women’s MITB, or I’d even settle for a tag team MITB. The crop of women we have right now could so pull it off. Just because they’re women, doesn’t mean they can’t handle it. I’m curious to know if any of them would actually be interested in a MITB ladder match for a contract. Can you imagine them saying “no” to a history making match? I can’t. I know if it was me, I’d be like “hell yeah I want to do it!” I might be crazy, but whatever. Even if they just did a ladder match for the Women’s Championship, that would be so amazing. It feels so good just saying “Women’s Championship” again. Lol. History in the making, Bitches!!!

Speaking of women; Why is Dana Brooke on the main roster before Bayley? Don’t we have enough heel diva’s…err…women? My bad. Old habits die hard. I can’t even stand listening to her “tawk”. There is just something about her that makes me so mad. I think it’s her face.

Charlotte is doing great as a heel champion. However, turning on her father, Ric Flair, did nothing to help her. It actually only made Flair look like a pussy. I think it worked better with him by her side. It adds to her entourage, and a heel champion always looks better with an entourage. The more people following her, the better it looks for a heel champion, and inflates her “ego” that much more. That’s my opinon anyways.

I’ve had a lot on my mind recently. I’m so busy with chasing after my 16-month old. She runs everywhere, and no longer likes to be restrained in her car seat and her stroller. Although we obviously make sure she can’t get out of the car seat. Got wedding planning to begin soon too, and of course my activism. May turned out to be a busy month on just events alone. Had a symposium in Toronto the one weekend and the following weekeing was the opening day demonstration at Marineland. King Greg came with me to the symposium along with my niece Emily. She and a friend of hers came with me to the demonstration too. River actually held her first protest sign, lol. Super cute. But it’s been hard to focus on stuff with the passing of my grandfather, and trying to help my mom out, taking care of the house, the baby, my fiance, and getting all this stuff done. I’m burning out quick. Which is probably why I forgot all about the Extreme Rules event last month. Usually I use wrestling as my escape from all that, but it’s been extremely difficult as of late because there isn’t much happening that can pull my interest. I end up doing dishes or going outside for some air (and a smoke). I get to see the first two hours of RAW each Monday night before I head into work, and every damn time its the frigging New Day. WWE, please do me a favour and wait until 10:01 to put the New Day on television. Is that so hard to ask? I cannot handle the grossness that is Big E air humping everything. So disgusting.

Yeah I’ve already lost focus. I had more in my head for that, but I cannot even think about what it was that I was going to say. So moving on…

So in July (I think the 19th), SmackDown is moving to Tuesday’s and is also going live. On a Tuesday? It’ll be up against The Flash. I think they would have been better off going live on a Friday when it wasn’t up against a Superhero television series, because I’m going to be choosing The Flash over SmackDown, unless The Flash is a repeat that week. I’d rather be watching Barry Allen, the fastest man alive, and I have a few friends who will probably choose The Flash over SmackDown. I just hope they don’t add another hour to it making it a three hour show. I just can’t handle that. As for the brand split, I’m not sure. I mean there is always good that can come out of it, but there is also bad that comes out of it too. It does allow some of the lesser used talent to get a bit more air time, which is great. But at the same time, you don’t want to have to sit through what was a 10 minute Reigns or Cena promo, but now it’ll be 20 minutes of them being asshats. And they can’t break up any factions. The factions work well because they have that group. When they broke up the Wyatt’s before, it just didn’t work for any of them. They need to keep The Wyatt’s, the Club, the New Day (yes, they need to keep them together), and just leave them alone. Also, just keep one set of tag team champions, one Women’s champion, one WWE World Heavyweight champion, and not make duplicate titles. That was what really sucked with the brand split the last time. In that case, no more title runs for John Cena, I need, no demand, less of him. I don’t need him to be on both shows. His time is done, it’s time for him to help the new and younger talent coming up.

On the same note, apparently Triple H announced that NXT will no longer be 1-hour. It will now be 3-hours. Dumb move. Yes I see the point of making NXT a bit longer, but how about by just another 30-minutes? If they do another Take-Over, it will mean fuck all because the product is already 3-hours. There is no point to this. A 90-minute show would be perfect. Haven’t they ever heard there is too much of a good thing?

Loved, loved LOVED AJ Styles promo two weeks ago against John Cena. He freaking nailed it and I actually cheered in my living room. I was so happy….

“…once you’ve wrestled John Cena and lose, it’s time to bring out the shovels, because guys like you, bury guys like me.”-AJ Styles

Isn’t that what we’ve been saying all along? As soon as Cena faces a new guy, they’re done. Truer words have never been spoken until AJ Styles said that. Bravo AJ! Bra-fucking-vo!

Lets take a break from the bitching for a moment, shall we?

At the beginning of this month, I had the pleasure of meeting one of my childhood favourites for the second time, Jake “The Snake” Roberts at Niagara Falls Comicon. Had a picture done with him, and I purchased a signed copy of his DVD “The Resurection of Jake The Snake.” This isn’t a WWE sanctioned DVD, but more like a documentary chroncialing Jake’s road to sobriety and getting back into shape. It’s powerful, and starts off with one of his last in-ring appearances on the Indy scene, where he appears drunk or high, or both. It was very sad and heartbreaking to see him that way. It follows his struggles to get clean, rebuild his relationship with his family, and get back into shape. With the help of Diamon Dallas Page, Jake manages to battle these issues, as well as a major road block to his recovery. I have gained so much respect for DDP after watching this, and as a fan of Jake’s, I am so proud of him. He should be dead. I hate to say that but it’s true. Anyone who is familiar with all his struggles throughout his life, right from childhood to now, would think that he shouldn’t be on this planet right now. I cried at the beginning and the end. It wasn’t because I was naive to think that he wasn’t that bad, but because I chose not to go looking for it online. I chose not to read about all that. I wanted to maintain the memories I had watching him when I was a child and not knowing what was truly going on with him. I cried at the end because of the pride I felt in seeing him overcome it all. Whether he stays clean and sober, is the next step, but for now I want to believe in him. I want to meet him again and again until he stops doing these appearances. It’s truly inspirational to see him come through all those demons and struggles. If he can do it, I think anyone can.

That same day, I also met someone who I respect very much, and had been waiting to meet for a long time, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat. What an absolute gentleman. So very kind and friendly to talk to. Mat’s friend Peter gave me his figure about two or three Christmas’ ago, and that was one of the ones I have been looking for, for a few years. Since I got it, I’ve been waiting for him to come to Niagara Falls or Hamilton, and finally he did. So I was super stoked.

While I was waiting for “the Dragon”, Shawn Michaels was at the next table. I spent $100 meeting both Jake and Ricky, which covered both having my photo taken with both of them and the two autographs. Shawn was charging $100 just for an autograph, and he wasn’t allowing any photos with him at the table. In fact, he had so much security there who were stopping people standing in line from taking photos of him. Unlike the other celebrities where you pay at the table, they made people pay before they got into line, and they also cut the line off so no one else could get in the line to meet him. Then he was charging another $100 for a photo op in a room off to the side of the event. I’ve met him before, and he’s not worth $100 for either opportunity. He’s a dick! I’ve met both Ric Flair and Bret Hart, and neither of them charged what Shawn Michaels was charging. But Flair and Hart deserve to be charging that much, but didn’t. It was ridiculous. The only person who I would ever drop that kind of money on is The Undertaker.

So Shawn Michaels cost these people $240. Lets break it down for you; $40 was the price of the ticket just to get into Saturday’s event, then he charged $100 just to scribble his name on something, and then another $100 to stand next to him for a photo for 10 seconds. Yeah…HELL NO!!! Shawn Michaels should be ashamed of himself.

OK sorry, the no-bitching didn’t last long.

I did manage to score on my action figures. I went in there with three that I wanted and walked out with two of them, but only because Becky Lynch wasn’t available up this way yet and no one had her in yet. I got Bayley (FINALLY, after hunting for her for a few months now), and demon Finn Balor.

Great Ambrose Assylum this past Monday on RAW. Both Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins continue to dominate the mic work. Roman Reigns needs to comm off as less cocky, because if the WWE wants him to remain a baby-face, coming off cocky doesn’t help. That’s why he’s being booed. If the WWE were smart, which clearly they are not, they should have made him a heel a while ago, and when they brought back Rollins, they should have made him a face. That’s what the fans want. Then again, since when does the WWE ever do what the fans want? Never! This time we are right. If they’re so worried about making Roman Reigns into the next John Cena, then they need to get rid of John Cena. As long as Cena is still there, they don’t need another one. This gives them ample opportunity to play around with Reigns and see if he can cut it as a heel.

Well, I think I’m done for this week. I’ve babbled on enough as it is. Plus I’m at work and probably should be doing my stupid job. Yeah I’m beginning to hate it. One of my co-workers was taken out of the building because of a personal issue between the office manager and her, although my co-worker didn’t care. She was fine here. I hate the guy who replaced her. He smells like rotting bologna. So gross. He’s also an asshole. I hope no one who lives in the condo where I work reads this. Hmm. Doubt it. Lol!!! Each night has just sucked more and more. Maybe the job is getting too stale for me, I’m not sure. I’m just finding myself more and more bored. Could be that I have so much to do at home that I feel like I’m wasting my time. Whatever the reason, I’m sure I’ll figure it out.Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

Hey everyone and welcome to another edition of the Fatal 4-Way! I hope everyone is having a great May so far! Mine has bee pretty good! I have been working lots and doing other things to keep me busy! I am really enjoying my at Ting. It has made me really happy and positive too! I have a feeling that this job is going to bring me some big opportunities for the future! Now I just need a love life and my own place!

A few Sundays ago was WWE’s Payback PPV and I thought it was really great compared to WM the PPV before. I really enjoyed AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns. It was a great match and both guys worked their asses off! I was hoping AJ would of won but he didn’t! But they do have a rematch at Extreme Rules and I’m hoping maybe AJ will finally get the WWE World Championship. We shall see!

Another match that I liked(up until the end of the match) was the Woman’s match between Charlotte vs Natalya for the Woman’s Championship. Ric Flair was in Charlotte’s corner and Bret Hart was Natayla’s corner. I guess you could figure out that there was going to be a screwy finish when Bret Hart was going to be part of it. Of course the ref rang the bell when Natayla was in a submission but didn’t tap. Yeah here we go again Montreal all over! Ugh. It was what it was.

Dean Ambrose vs Chris Jericho was pretty sweet! They had a great match at Payback! I can’t wait to see how their 2nd match at Extreme Rules is going to turn out! Should be a fun match! I think Chris Jericho is leaving after Extreme Rules to take another break. He has done well in his latest round. He seems to always have the best matches!

So it looks like there will be some big returns coming up in the WWE lately. We will be seeing John Cena come back at the Memorial Day RAW. But also set to return in June is Seth Rollins(yes!), Randy Orton(I can’t wait but I’m not sure what they will do for him) and Bray Wyatt will make a return from his injury as well.

Speaking about injuries it looks like Emma injured her back and now she needs back surgery to repair some of the discs in her. I hope she can recover soon. Also Nikki Bella is supposed to find out soon if her neck surgery healed well. She is supposed to give us an update very soon.

I just found out this years Survivor Series will be taking place in Toronto at the ACC! I’m happy to hear about that! It has been way too long since we had a PPV in Toronto! It is about time I say! Which brings me to my next question does that mean we will get a NXT Takeover in Toronto the night before? I would love to go see either one for sure!

In a couple of weeks I will be going with Diva and Darren to Comic Con to see Shawn Michaels. We will be getting the photo op with him. That should be interesting to say the least! Jake The Snake Roberts will be there too. He is always fun to see and talk to. I kinda want to meet Ricky The Dragon Steamboat too. He will be there.

Anyway that’s all I have to talk about this for this edition of the Fatal 4-Way. I hope you have a nice day! Enjoy the long weekend in Canada and in US next weekend! See you next time!

Can we first start off with What the Fuck?! Last month we had three “In Memory of’s” and this month we have three more. All within two weeks of each other. It’s nothing to scoff at that’s for sure. Three wrestling deaths in two weeks, that’s not counting the other celebrities who have passed away. Last week alone there were two celebrities; “Everybody Loves Raymond” Doris Roberts, and of course musical icon Prince, with Chyna the day before Prince. So sad.

Robert Windham was part of one of the greatest tag teams, The Blackjacks. He’s had a very long and fullfilling career with multiple tag team championships through various organizations, like the NWA and WWE. In 2006, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Robert Windham is the materal grandfather of two current WWE superstars, Windham and Taylor Rotunda (also known as Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas). Our deepest sympathies the the Windham and Rotunda families.

Everyone knew Jonathan Rechner as Balls Mahoney, and his crazy career in ECW. Balls was a 3-time Tag Team Champion; twice with Spike Dudley and once with Masato Tanaka. His death was rather sudden as it happened the day after his 44the birthday while watching Jeopardy. He was answering questions, then turned over on the couch to get comfortable. His wife found him unconsious and dialled 911. By the time the medics got there, he had passed away. Our condolances to his wife and son, as well as friends and family.

Chyna was called the 9th Wonder of the World as she was built like a truck. She first joined the WWE in 1997 as the femal bodyguard to Shawn Michaels and then boyfriend Hunter Hearst Helmsley as part of DeGeneration-X. She would eventually become a decorative female wrestler, being the first and ONLY female to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, being the first female to enter the male dominated Royal Rumble, as well as being WWE Women’s Champion before leaving the company. She had a breif stint in New Japan Pro Wrestling and another brief stint in Total Non-stop Action. Sadly, her life would go down a bad path of porn films and drugs. She was even busted for domestic abuse on former DX member and former fiance, Sean “X-Pac” Waltman. It sounded like Chyna got clean enough to then spend time in Japan teaching English. On April 20th, 2016, her friend found her dead in her bed. She died of an “accidental” overdose.

What a month April has proved to be. WrestleMania thwas an almost seven-hour event of virtually fuck-all. The deaths of wrestler’s and celebrities has been too much, and I lost someone extremely important to me. I’m going to shut it and get to bidness…

Deaths have been happening at a record pace since December 2015. It seems surprise after surprise as the hits just keep on coming. This month, there have been three wrestling deaths; Blackjack Mulligan, Balls Mahoney and Chyna. Chyna’s death has caught the most attention from the media. And although I’m sad that she has passed away so young, I’m more surprised that it took this long. I wish her nothing but peace now. As for the celebrity deaths this month, nothing hit me more than the death of a musical legend. Prince. He was so incredibly talented, and just such an icon. My mom had (still does) a huge stack of vinyl records, and I used to steal Prince’s “Purple Rain” album and play it on my Fisher Price record player. His one of a select few that I would play. Whenever his music came on the radio, or my iPod, the volume would go up, and I’d sing and/or dance along. He’s one of my favourite guitarist, which I don’t think people have given him enough credit for. What I had in his music was in cassette form and I have yet to fill the void in my current musical library with his music. I’ll always party like it’s “1999” whenever I hear a Prince song. Rest In Peace Prince.

My talking about death isn’t over. I wish it was. On Saturday April 16th, 2016, I was forced to say good-bye to my amazing Grandfather. I was lucky to have spent the past 36 years with such an amazing man. This is going to be hard for me to write, as the tears are already filling my eyes. There are so many words that I would love to say right now, but I need to keep this brief. My grandpa Earl, was the most talented man I knew. He would go to work as a cabinet maker, doing work in other people’s houses, come home after a 8-10 hour day and work on his and my grandmother’s lovely home. On weekends he would sit and carve many amazing things, like ducks, santa clauses, a whale (just for me), ornaments, cowboys, you name it, he’s probably carved it. He has taken large pieces of trees that have been cut down and have made super tall carvings of a Canadian Mountie, a bear, a Sailor, and other tree trunk carvings. I’m talking these were 7 feet or more tall carvings. Just amazing. That day, my world just shattered. Everything happened so fast that at the same time it felt as if time just stood still. Two days before he passed away, he was dancing in my parents livingroom with my daughter, his first and only great-grandchild, to the Wiggles. I’m so glad that she got to spend the first 14 months of her life with her Grandpa-Great. I’m so glad that River brought so much joy to my grandfather in these past 14 months too. Since losing my grandmother in October of 2005, I haven’t seen him truly smile until River was born. She brought him so much love and joy and I’m so glad he got to be with her. Even if just for a short time. He got sick so fast. Five hours. That’s all. Blood infection which sent him into septic shock. My mom (his daughter), my dad, brother and his partner, and myself were all there with him when he left us to join my grandmother. His only living brother, Wayne, was able to see him too before he passed away, and his nephew and his wife got there about ten minutes too late. If he only knew just how much he was loved and respected. I never got to tell him I loved him. I had two opportunities to do so that day, but I didn’t expect him to leave us. So no matter what, always say those words. Everyday. He had a hell of a life. A wonderful and respected 87 years. I’ll miss his funny faces, silly jokes, and ribbing. He always made me laugh, always. I was lucky to share all 36 (yes I’m that old) birthday’s with him. I love you so much Grandpa, and I already miss you ♥

Grandpa Earl

March 31, 1929 to April 16, 2016

OK enough sadness already. Now it’s time to start picking bones with the WWE about WrestleMania.

1- It was too fucking long. There wasn’t enough alcohol in my house, ok actually there was, lol. But it was still way too long. If they can overbook a four-hour event with half the good talent injured, that they needed to add two more hours to it, then makes you wonder how bloody long it would have been if those injured guys weren’t injured and also on the card. Like fuck!

2-A No Holds Barred Street Fight with two of the most unpredictable wrestlers, should have been way more exciting and at least a bit bloody than what it was. I was soooo disappointed in the Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar match. Probably the most disappointing match of the entire event for me at least. If you can’t make a NHBSF good, then just make it a regular match. Geeze!

3-If Shane McMahon was just going to run RAW for the rest of the month anyways, what was the fucking point of his match against The Undertaker? The stipulation was, if Shane won the Hell In A Cell match against Taker, he would hae controll of RAW and it would be the last WrestleMania for Undertaker. He did NOT win!! So what was the point? He’s been running RAW since. Do you remember what I said last month about how the WWE doesn’t follow through with any of their storylines? They have no clue what they’re fucking doing!

Match of the night go to the Women’s division’s, Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. Those three ladies brought it all. I was not let down by any of it. More so by saying good-bye to the Diva’s championship, and bringing back the Women’s Championship. Bye disgusting Butterfly belt, hello prestigious and classy belt. That was long-overdue. Looks like the term Diva is on the way out as well, as lately they have been referring it to the Women’s Division. Charlotte being the one to represent the rebirth of this title, is a strong way to rebuild the reputation back from when Candace Michelle, Layla and Michelle McCool ruined it and took a giant shit all over the legacy that was built up to it before them. Charlotte is the best way to bring credibilty back to this championship.

Lets talk about the other women’s match. I fucking called it! Thank-you to Paige, Natalya, Emma and Naomi, however for really working hard. It must have been hard to carry the rest of them on your backs. No surprise but Lana sucked as much as her twat did eating up her stupid body suit. Holy camel toe whore bitch. Eva Marie sucked, Brie Bella sucked, but at least thats the last of them. When did the WWE become like the school system? Where everyone gets a WrestleMania paycheck even if they didn’t work hard to deserve it? Our school system passes everyone even if they are technically failing. All because they don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. Fucking get over it. Life is hard. People are not going to be soft on you you’re whole life. You’re not getting a promotion because the boss feels bad for you, nope, you’ll get fired. Like c’mon! The school system is not preparing the current generation for life outside of those walls. They’re handling them with bubble wrap and padding to keep their feelings from getting hurt. I had to work my ass off. No kid is going to work their ass off if they are just going to be handed a pass anyways. My daughter, is going to work her ass off. If she doesn’t deserve to be passed, I’ll be the one, saying “no, she needs to work harder and doesn’t deserve this. Hold her back.” That may make me a bitch, but you know what, I want my daughter to work hard for her goals. Working hard and knowing you deserve the reward at the end, teaches disapline and most importantly, self-respect. When you hand the ultimate goal of WrestleMania and the paycheck that goes along with it, to people like Eva Marie, and Lana, and they still can’t deliver, they don’t deserve to be there. They clearly haven’t worked hard enough for it. They shouldn’t have just been handed that opportunity. They did not deserve that opportunity.

It’s nice to see the WWE pushing some of NXT talent. Baron Corbin was the surprise winner of the Andre The Giant Battle Royal at WrestleMania, and has worked hard since. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady, The Vaudvillians and Apollo Crews have all been called up to the main roster. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens have been given the opportunity and they’ve run with it. But it sucks that guys like Neville and Tyler Breeze, seem to be held down.

Looks like Wade Barrett is gone. The League of Nations turned on him and he hasn’t been seen since. Obviously this saddens and angers me. I loved that guy. He told the company a few months back that he was unhappy with what they’ve done with him and had decided not to resign in June. I don’t bloody blame him. I’m still going to blame John Cena for holding Wade back since he doesn’t like Wade at all. And I can blame him because this is my blog and I can do whatever the hell I want.

I’m totally loving the Edge and Christian show. OMG, Mat and I watch it each week together and we sit there just killing ourselves laughing. Maybe we are immature, or we think the same way as E&C. Oh man. So friggin’ good.

I’m happy that Maryse is back in the WWE. I’ve always liked her. During her first run, she was one of the only women to have developed a decent character, and could cut decent promos. She was a solid in-ring worker, who worked hard and kept learning. She made for an excellent heel diva. Maryse is probably more well-liked than her husband, The Miz. I’m just glad she’s back and I hope she’ll get back into the ring again.

There will be some changes to the cast of Total Diva’s. Bye-bye to Rosa, Alicia and Mandy (who?), and say hello to Lana, Renee Young and Maryse. There will also be a spin-off called Total Bellas, which will continue to follow Nichol and Brie, and their family. However, they will still be featured on Total Diva’s. I’m wondering if it’ll just be for season 6 because the footage has already been taken for the show, or because they are the attention whores that we think them to be? They don’t need to be on Total Diva’s if they have their own show. The only way I’ll watch Total Bella’s is for Daniel Bryan. OMG he cracks me up. Total Bella’s will feature Nikki and Brie, John and Bryan, their mother Kathy and her new husband, John Laurenitus, and their brother JJ and his wife. Yeah Bryan is the only one interesting on that show.

I’m too tired to go on, so I’m finishing this sucker off here. Besides, I have work to do. Enjoy this weekend’s event.Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

BOOT CAMP

What’s crackin’….uhh…..crackers? Sorry, was that racist? I don’t fucking care. Anybody will get offended by any little thing these days. Ya know, it’s like I don’t even need to try anymore. It used to be a challenge to try and get under people’s skins, but with how the world is today, all I have to do is show up! “Generation Butt-hurt” has taken all the sport out of my game….but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop playing it.

So, this Sunday is WWE Payback, or as we here in the Fatal 4-Way call it, Refund! That is, until they put all WWE PPVs exclusively on the WWE Network and nobody can really get their money back if they are unhappy with the product. You want to talk about disappointing, though? Even though I had a great time watching WrestleMania, I just felt more and more disheartened with every match’s outcome seeing that pretty much none of my predictions were right. I got all the Pre-Show matches right, but those probably don’t even count. Come the main card….I flopped worse than a hockey fan trying to call the winner of the Super Bowl! Let’s just say it….my WrestleMania predictions were BOOTY! Should have eaten my Booty-Os that morning, but I was fresh out. I let my kids have the last bowl.

Come to think about it, I should probably knock it off with the New Day references for a while. Word of it might get back to them somehow, and then I will have to sit through them calling this little social experiment of mine….”Sarge’s Booty Camp”. I am not sure if I would be honored or upset by that.

===================================

I had to chuckle a little during this commercial they showed during SmackDown about the Make-A-Wish foundation and how the WWE superstars are so honored to be a part of these kids’ lives and what-not. I am not trying to make fun of any of it because I have very deep respect for this foundation and what WWE has done for them. The thing that made me laugh was this one piece of footage they showed with Brock Lesnar holding this one kid up over his head like Simba being presented to all the animals of the Pride Lands. I bet this kid didn’t sign up to get “Lion King’d” as part of that deal. Does that make the wrestling ring they were in the “Squared Circle of Life”? What was going through that kid’s head at that moment? Hakuna Matata means I just shat myself.

Okay, I am done.

===================================

I love that Shane McMahon was still given control of RAW even after he lost against The Undertaker at WrestleMania. I mean, there really was no other way that match could have ended, even after Shane jumped off the top of the cell (probably the only thing I mentioned in my last article that actually happened that night), no way WWE was going to have Undertaker sent packing like that.

What has begun to worry me is the reappearance of Stephanie McMahon into the equation. Now, Vince McMahon is scheduled to appear at WWE Payback and decide which one of them is going to run RAW. This is worrisome to me because it reeks of a possible return of the brand split! Vinnie Mac, in all his senile splendor, could very well give control of RAW to either Shane of Steph….and then let whoever is left run SmackDown as part of this sibling rivalry angle. The last time there was a brand split, I hated every minute of it. It seemed pointless and made it confusing to follow certain storylines because the people involved in them were only on TV once a week. That said, it also will cause lacking storyline and character development. How is any of this a good thing?? Anyone?? Bueller?? I’ll judge by all the crickets I hear in response that nobody else wants this to happen, either. I don’t blame you.

===================================

Zack Ryder. Good Lord, talk about pointless shit. Having him get the “upset of the century” fluke win for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania was just another “WTF” moment by the end of RAW the following night after The Miz won the IC title from Ryder. It sparked a short feud with The Miz that also saw the return of Cesaro, but if you ask me, the best thing to come out of this storyline with The Miz and Zack Ryder was the return of Maryse! God, how I missed her. I know she was never the greatest in-ring talent (though she wasn’t terrible), but she still looks just as sexy as I remember. It’s like she hasn’t aged a day. Sure, we probably have Botox and the greatest surgeons money can buy to thank for keeping her looking so fresh and amazing, but I’m not going to complain. She looks great and I am glad she is back on TV. I only wish she was back performing in the ring as well. Anyway….right back in the old Spank Bank, she goes!

Yes, I am a pig. Whatcha gonna do?

===================================

Well, I don’t know what you’re gonna do, but I am going to hit the bricks for now. Yeah, I know. This one was kind of short, but Hell…they can’t all be ‘War and “Peace, now can they? Deal with it, cupcake.

I’ll catch you all next time, troops. Until then….YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

Had enough yet? You got something to say to me? E-mail me at darkside619@hotmail.comand get it off your flabby little chest! Your feedback is both welcomed and encouraged, and your responses will be highlighted in my next Boot Camp article. Your orders are clear, troops……it’s time to stand up and sound off!! I’ll make you famous! >:)

Hey everyone and welcome back to another edition of the Fatal 4-Way! I hope everyone is doing well. I’m enjoying a 5 day vacation this week. I’m on day two of five now. Today was a lot of fun. I ended up being a tourist in Niagara Falls today! It was a lot of fun! 🙂 I had a great time with my friend/co-worker Jen. We went up the Skylon Tower, then we did Journey Behind The Falls, then we went to Boston Pizza for lunch, and after that we went to the Hershey’s Store. So it was a fun time indeed! I guess now it is time to get into some wrestling news and opinions…

First off lets talk about WrestleMania 32. It wasn’t so bad. I did enjoy it. It was better than I thought it was going to be. I miss a few matches because I didn’t finish work until 7:20pm that day and it takes about 45 mins to get to Diva’s house. But once I got there, it was a great time! I probably say my two favourite matches were The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon and Charlotte vs Sasha vs Becky. Both matches were awesome and I was really happy with both of them. The Undertaker won his match(which I did pick him to win) and of course Shane McMahon did the jump off the top of the cage. That was pretty cool to see! Charlotte won her match. I was really hoping that they would give Sasha the Women Championship but I know it might take a while before she actually gets it. But I do believe she is better performer in the Women division. Just sayin! Lol

The Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar match was a little disappointing. I thought they would of had a better match but it just didn’t really jell. There were a few mistakes and the wrong wrestler went over. It should of been Dean. But I don’t book WWE so I guess it isn’t my call! Lol

The main event between Triple H and Roman Reigns was what I suspected and it was Roman going over winning the WWE World Championship. Now Roman is our WWE Champion lol yay! Of course the fans aren’t happy with that and I don’t really blame them either. Oh well. I guess we will see how long this championship reign will last!

Moving on into the sad news we lost a few wrestlers since the last time we blog. Chyna and Axel Rotten both passed away. One wasn’t really a surprise but the other one was. Both were talented performers and they will be missed. When Chyna first started wrestling she did break barriers in the WWE for the women who came after her. She was a great wrestler and it saddens me how the last few years of her life she decided to go down in a dark path and it lead her to her early death. This could of been preventable and I heard people close to her tried to help her out. I just still find it pretty sad. Now she is gone. May she rest in peace.

Of course another celebrity well I should say singer passed away last week and that was Prince. I really loved his music. He has so many hits and I remember buying his Diamond and Pearls cassette(yes I used to buy those) and I was so in awe with it. Such an amazing Artist that I never got to see live. 😦

The PPV is this Sunday and main event is Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles. AJ won a Fatal 4-Way match to become the number 1 contender for the WWE Championship. It should be a good match, I don’t think AJ will win but I would love to see him though! I do believe his buddies who showed up on RAW will turn on him and cost him the match. Then aline with Roman Reigns. Which would make sense because everyone is booing Reigns right now so they might as well make him a heel!

Anyway that’s it for me this month! I hope you all enjoy the PPV and the weather! Here’s hoping for some more warmer weather! Have a nice day!

This will be a very short edition of the Skirt Sheet. I’m sick and hardly in the mood to even do a blog this week. So I’m going to shut it and get to bidness…

Sasha Banks and Bayley are really making it hard for me to decide which one of their matches is going to be match of the year. Congratulations to the both of them for putting on one hell of a main event at NXT TakeOver: Respect. Triple H and Stephanie need to push the WWE roster diva’s to step it up and put on matches like this and maybe just maybe the current diva’s might have a bit more respect as well. Because twice now, Sasha and Bayley has humiliated the Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Tamina, Paige, Natalya, Summer Rae, etc.. They all need to step it up. There is no excuse for Naomi, Paige, Natalya to have shit matches. None. Just as we know that Charlotte and Becky Lynch have no excuse to have shit matches. The problem is, the moment girls from NXT, like Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch & Sasha Banks, make their way to the main roster, they are told to tone it down so that the other diva’s, like the Bella’s, can keep up. I can just see it know, Nikki going to John, “it’s not fair, I can’t work with these girls. They make me look like crap. Can you talk to Hunter and Stephanie?” Of course he does, “tell those NXT girls to hold back. Nikki can’t keep up.” Hunter/ Stephanie… “girls, we need you to hold back a little. Just for now.”. They are completely missing the problem that most of their main roster diva’s shouldn’t even be there. Nikki isn’t so bad in the ring but if I have to watch Brie Bella get in the ring and attempt to wrestle, I may just claw my own eyes out. It’s like watching a tooth pick running from a rolling pin.

Same can be said for the male superstars. We all know that Neville, and Owens can out wrestle 80% of the current roster, yet, they’re not. We’ve seen guys like Cesaro, Tyson Kidd, Wade Barrett, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, all pull back and not work a match like they own that ring. Guys who have left because they weren’t getting matches, despite the fact they could out wrestle John Cena on every level. Justin Gabriel comes to mind. WWE is notorious for wasting talent.

This past Monday, RAW received one of its lowest ratings in a long long time. 2.1, I believe. Despite having, The Undertaker, Stone Cold, and douche bag (aka Shawn Michaels), on the same show. This is the time that the WWE needs to re-think what the hell is wrong, and fix the damn thing.

So apparently John Cena and Randy Orton are taking time off. Orton’s already gone, and Cena isn’t. However apparently he is already being booked to defend his US championship on December 26th. At least let him go. I’m so tired of this ass-hat’s face that I don’t want him to ever to return. He sucks!!

My little girl is vastly approaching 9 months in November. Can’t believe how much time has just flown by. For her first Halloween, even though she is too young to go out trick or treating, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to put her into her first costume… A little lamb. One that looks rather bunny-ish.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween. As usual we have our Halloween Party. This year I will be working the room as the “Rowdy” one…Roddy Piper. Minus the blonde short hair. I just can’t rock that look. Lol!! See you next month for Survivor Series. Because, In Life…There Are Winners, and There Are Losers….Be Jealous and Be Sexy!

BOOT CAMP

FATAL 4-WAY FANATICS……………………

Figured I’d leave the intro to Enzo and Big Cass this week and keep it simple because I tried to think about it on my own, and realized that there’s very little about me that can’t be taught. LOL I mean, a lot of things could be taught, but nobody would want to take the classes! Like it or not, “Sarge 101” is off the docket for this semester. There can be only one!!

The world could only handle one of me anyway. It’s better like this. Trust me!

===========================================

While I sit here trying to think of something wrestling related to talk about, I do have an update on the home front. I started working at Walmart last week. I am one of the guys who unload the trucks when they come in and stock the shelves after the supplies have been offloaded and separated by their departments. It’s only been a week, but I am really liking it so far. Aside from the slight issue I am having with adjusting my sleep schedule (I work until 11PM and don’t get to bed until almost 1AM most of the time). It’s not so much a “not getting home by then” problem as it is a “a dude’s gotta eat” problem. That, and the drive home mixed with the rush of just being done with my shift (and grabbing some food because I am always starving after work) gives me a second wind, and I need time to chill out before I can go to bed and actually have any hope of falling asleep.

Sure, I am tired and sore. I’ve felt that way all week, but I am hoping to be more used to it very soon. I’m back to being a productive member of the household and that means my family’s holiday season isn’t going to suck. In fact, I heard my wife already has all our Christmas shopping done. She must be feeling that shift toward the positive that this new job is bringing about in our lives. Our kids will be happier, too, and for that reason alone, I will do whatever it takes to help that become a permanent feature in our lives.

If this year’s Halloween is any indication, things are going to get a lot better around here than they have been in the past six months. About damn time, too! Here are my son and daughter in their costumes. Enjoy……

Kaden loves his Iron Man suit and his gloves light up and make sounds. A bit excessive for a kid’s Halloween costume, but he and Aly use their other costumes for playing “dress up” for the rest of the year. After this year’s trick or treating, they will have one more outfit to put in their bins.

For Halloween this year, I will be dressed as a Walmart associate. Yep, I have to work that night. I hope my wife takes some good pictures.

===========================================

Sorry if I seem like I have been rambling a little bit here, but I am also having some trouble thinking of anything to talk about that has to do with wrestling. Sure, I can talk about NXT TakeOver: Respect and the finale of the Dusty Rhodes tag team tournament…or the fact that a women’s title match headlined a WWE live special for the first time in history. I can, but I won’t because those things have been talked about constantly since that night. It’s been covered, and we all get it. Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s all amazing as Hell. I just don’t want to comment on something that a hundred other people have brought up in the past week. It’s not that I don’t care. I just want to keep things fresh.

===========================================

Aside from it being rather corny and easy to figure out, I have to admit the whole thing between Corporate Kane and Seth Rollins is actually kind of funny. Kane playing both sides of the character (Corporate & Demon Kane) gives the fans what they have been wanting for a while….only in smaller doses. People wanted “masked Kane” to come back when Kane returned from his leg injury. I like the Demon better anyway, but Corporate Kane has become rather comical lately. This is exactly what Rollins needs. Someone to keep him interesting. His shtick is really getting old, and Demon Kane has literally come into the picture to light a fire under Rollins’ ass and make him step it up. I know there isn’t much chance they’ll have Kane win at Hell In A Cell, but it’s been fun since this Corporate/Demon mash-up thing started. It’s hokey and something we may have seen back in the 80’s, but that is where we can find the charm in this whole mess!

===========================================

I used to hate The New Day, but I have really begun to enjoy them since Xavier Woods brought out the trombone. He’s turned every moment he and his group are on screen into a celebration of sheer goofy exuberance. That trombone provides the soundtrack to everything The New Day does, and sadly….that also includes Big E’s pelvic gyrations. Please make it stop!! Don’t make me start a petition. The New Day wanted to “Save The Tables”. I can speak for myself and the rest of my Fatal 4-Way team mates that we may very well begin our own movement…..”Save Our Lunches” to help us not want to lose them every time we see that undulating miscreant on our screens!! In that case, the trombone accompaniment does NOT help make it any better.

===========================================

Before I get out of here, I just want to say I am so glad this article wasn’t due next week. With WWE2K16 coming out on Tuesday, I have a feeling my free time is going to be sucked away by this game for quite some time.

By the next time we do this thing, I should have had my fill of that game and you can be assured that my undivided attention will be all yours. Not trying to be creepy. Just telling it like it is. I’ll catch you next time, troops!

Until then………YOU’RE DISMISSED!!

===================================

Your feedback is both welcomed and encouraged, and your responses will be highlighted in my next Boot Camp article. Your orders are clear, troops……it’s time to stand up and sound off!! I’ll make you famous! >:)

Until next time, this is The Sarge…..reminding you: No matter how smart you are, you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid!

Hey everyone and welcome to another edition of the Royal Thoughts. Man I can’t believe it has been a month since the last time I wrote a blog! A lot has changed in the month for me. I recently quit my job that I was working at for the last 10 years. It was a big move for me. I was offered a new job and I decided to go for it! I just started training this week and I am so far liking it a lot. It is kinda a new thing for me so at times it will be challenging but overall I should do well. I have a great support staff who will be there for me if I need any help. That’s enough of personal life for now so lets talk about some wrestling!

I have to be honest I haven’t really watch much WWE in the last month or so. I just haven’t really been in the mood to watch it. Ever since the new season of TV has started I have been focusing my time watching shows that keep me entertain. Lately WWE hasn’t been doing that. Also I find when I don’t have cable I don’t watch it live. I guess I will have to d/l or stream it. I’m going to try my best to watch some more.

But I still get some wrestling news. I heard John Cena will be leaving for two months(I have to give credit to pwinsider.com). He is doing a TV Show. I’m not too sure what show it is because they are being tight lipped about it. So you know what that means then?! He will be off WWE TV!! Perhaps WWE will actually focus more on their other talent now that he is gone for a couple of months? I doubt it but who knows maybe Vince will see something in a talent that he has never seen?

How cool was it to see James Storm come on NXT the other night?! I was waiting for that jump. In case you didn’t know Storm has been wrestling for TNA for the last few years. I saw him wrestle on TNA for a bit and I thought to myself at the time he would do well if he came over to WWE. Now this is his chance. Well I hope WWE doesn’t drop the ball on him. But I knew he would be part of the WWE family when I read online that he didn’t have an actual contract with TNA anymore earlier this year. I mean it is the right thing to do. You’re looking out for your family first. If someone is going to offer you a good job from where you were working you’re going to take it. You have to thing what’s best for business as Triple H and Stephanie will say! Haha Anyway I wish James Storm the best of luck in NXT!

So I guess I should talk about Hell In The Cell PPV. It is this Sunday. The Main Event is The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar in the Hell In The Cell match. I picked Brock to win. But I wouldn’t be upset if The Undertaker won the match too. Taker is known for this match so I wouldn’t really be surprised if he goes over. But their last match at SummerSlam Taker got the win. So they are even at 1 a piece. This is the tie breaker. I also heard this will be the last match these two guys have too. I mean really you can’t really top that type of match with another match. Unless they were to do a Ladder Match or TLC match. But I think The Undertaker needs to stay away from those types of matches. He’s almost 50 years old. But you know he is still pretty awesome! I’m sure one day The Undertaker will retire. But if he can still put out decent matches why retire right? Also he actually showed up for a house show in Mexico and wrestled! He rarely does that too! So the Mexican fans got a pretty cool treat! I have seen The Undertaker live a few times. It is pretty cool watching him live. His entrance alone is worth the money for admission! So Brock for the win!

Speaking about Brock, I’m not sure what he is going to do after The Undertaker. I wouldn’t mind seeing WWE put him in a program with Kevin Owens. I think that would be pretty awesome! Those two would put on some great matches. Or have him go after the WWE World Championship. If he beats The Undertaker that would make the most sense.

So the WWE World Championship will be defended this Sunday at the PPV. It will be your WWE World Champion Seth Rollins vs Kane. Yay?! Is anyone really looking forward to this match? I mean no offence to Kane but he shouldn’t be in the main event now. It should really be Dolph Ziggler or Roman Reigns. But it isn’t. Oh well. I’m sure this match will be all right but still I’m not really looking forward to it.

One match that I’m kinda curious about is the Open Challenge for the US Championship. John Cena is defending it. But it is a mystery as to who is going to wrestle him. I have three random picks as to who I think is going to challenge Cena 1) James Storm. We know he was just in NXT so wouldn’t it be cool if he showed up to face John Cena and take him out? 2) Chris Jericho These guys have always had great matches and Chris seems to make surprise returns. 3) Jeff Hardy I know it is a long shot but lately with the TNA talent who are leaving it wouldn’t shock me to see Jeff Hardy back in WWE real soon!

There are other matches which are happening at the PPV this Sunday and I gave my predictions below. So you guys should check them out and compare them to my other Fatal 4 Way bloggers!

Also I’m happy to announce that Jake The Snake Roberts will be in Niagara Falls next year for Comic Con. They are announcing five other Legends who will be part of it. I’m pretty sure HBK will be another one. I heard they are announcing it early November. So we shall see!

So that’s it for me for this month Fatal 4 Way! Have a great weekend and enjoy the PPV if you’re going to watch it!

That’s it for this months Fatal 4-Way. My lap top has decided to pick fonts, colour and size on it’s own. Tis the season for possessed technology, right? Anyways, happy and safe halloween. See you in November for Survivor Series.
